Let's solve the
"Music Math - Level 1" worksheet step by step. The goal is to
add the beats of musical notes and rests.

🎵 Understanding Note and Rest Values
In music, each note and rest has a specific duration (number of beats):
| Symbol | Name | Beats |
|--------|---------------|-------|
| 🎼 `♩` (Quarter Note) | Quarter Note | 1 beat |
| 🎼 `♪` (Eighth Notes) | Two Eighth Notes | 2 × 0.5 = 1 beat |
| 🎼 `𝅝` (Half Note) | Half Note | 2 beats |
| 🎼 `𝅗𝅥` (Whole Note) | Whole Note | 4 beats |
| 🎼 `𝄆` (Quarter Rest) | Quarter Rest | 1 beat |
| 🎼 `𝅘𝅥𝅮` (Half Rest) | Half Rest | 2 beats |
| 🎼 `𝅘𝅥𝅯` (Whole Rest) | Whole Rest | 4 beats |
> Note: In this worksheet:
> - A single eighth note (`♪`) is worth
½ beat
> - Two eighth notes together (`♫`) are worth
1 beat
> - A quarter note (`♩`) =
1 beat
> - A half note (`𝅝`) =
2 beats
> - A whole note (`𝅗𝅥`) =
4 beats
> - Quarter rest (`𝄆`) =
1 beat
> - Half rest (`𝅘𝅥𝅮`) =
2 beats
> - Whole rest (`𝅘𝅥𝅯`) =
4 beats

Now let’s go through each problem:
---
✔ Notes Section (Problems 1–10)
1. `♩ + ♩` = 1 + 1 =
2 beats
2. `♫ + ♩` = 1 + 1 =
2 beats
3. `𝅗𝅥 + ♫` = 4 + 1 =
5 beats
4. `𝅝 + 𝅗𝅥` = 2 + 4 =
6 beats
5. `♫ + ♩` = 1 + 1 =
2 beats
6. `𝅝 + ♫` = 2 + 1 =
3 beats
7. `♩ + 𝅗𝅥` = 1 + 4 =
5 beats
8. `♫ + 𝅝` = 1 + 2 =
3 beats
9. `♩ + ♫` = 1 + 1 =
2 beats
10. `𝅗𝅥 + ♩` = 4 + 1 =
5 beats

✔ Rests Section (Problems 11–20)
11. `𝄆 + 𝄆` = 1 + 1 =
2 beats
12. `𝅘𝅥𝅮 + 𝄆` = 2 + 1 =
3 beats
13. `𝅘𝅥𝅮 + 𝅘𝅥𝅮` = 2 + 2 =
4 beats
14. `𝄆 + 𝅘𝅥𝅮` = 1 + 2 =
3 beats
15. `𝄆 + 𝅘𝅥𝅮` = 1 + 2 =
3 beats
16. `𝅘𝅥𝅮 + 𝄆` = 2 + 1 =
3 beats
17. `𝅘𝅥𝅮 + 𝅘𝅥𝅮` = 2 + 2 =
4 beats
18. `𝅘𝅥𝅮 + 𝄆` = 2 + 1 =
3 beats
19. `𝄆 + 𝄆` = 1 + 1 =
2 beats
20. `𝅘𝅥𝅮 + 𝅘𝅥𝅮` = 2 + 2 =
4 beats
